Prismagold Spikefern

This small leaf succulent grows up to 10 feet (3.0 meters) tall. The slender, pointed stem is gray-green, and is covered in brittle caramel spines. The toothed-edged, spear shaped leaves are either gold, or magenta with aquamarine splotches. Copious amounts of them grow from the base in random directions. The leaves are light, and easily come away when pulled.

It is very slow growing, taking 39 years to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with brown petals and an amber central disk grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 20 petals. It has a fairly strong scent that smells like rainy days.

The leaf succulent's skin is tough, the lime flesh is smooth, and the light brown sap is thin.
